The kitchen staff (so that includes me ) at work were offered 2 free pints to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.

Yesterday I was almost late for work because I saw this little thing munching a whole slice of pizza and I had to try and get a quick photo.

Inspired by this post over at Vegan Momma I thought of this new meme idea and I know that the whole meme thing is maybe over saturated in this little blogging world but I really like the what Opal said about seeing the people behind the blog and think this will be fun.

I have not done a meme for a while and I was just about to post a meme that I have created when I saw that I had been tagged for this one by Lynn at the Sewing Mum. Phew that was a long sentence!

I just learned the hardway.
On Wednesday I got really drunk and hadn’t eaten. A vague memory of me throwing my bag has resulted in this lovely display on my poor Macbook’s screen.
Anew screen is arriving from ebay (approx $200) and I have found a repair guide on Ifixit.com. The Apple service people wanted almost $800 [...]
